Taking or sending your PBS medicine overseas

If you are planning a trip overseas and you need prescription medicine for the trip, you need to organise this before you travel.

There are national laws and restrictions that govern the amount and types of PBS medicines you can take or send overseas. It is illegal to take or send PBS medicines out of Australia that are not for your personal use, or the use of someone travelling with you.
